Annie Joubert

Biography

She is a full professor in the Department of Physiology at the University of Pretoria. Together with her postgraduate students and colleagues she explores the in vitro influence of novel in silico-designed estradiol analogues with potential anticancer activity. Contributions to this research field include the in silico development of these analogues for tubulin-, kinesin motor protein and carbonic anhydrase binding affinity as highly validated cancer targets. Cellular and molecular studies are currently being conducted to elucidate each compound’s signal transduction mechanism. Prof Joubert has received several research awards and has gained national and international recognition in her research field.
